The AI Empowered Litigator: Strategic, Measured and Purposeful Use of AI in High-Stakes Litigation
Description

AI is transforming how legal teams approach litigation, enabling faster analysis, deeper insights and more strategic decision-making; however, its use raises real questions of professional responsibility that in-house counsel cannot afford to overlook. This session explores how AI is being applied across the litigation lifecycle, from early case assessment through discovery and beyond, while grounding that discussion in the ethical duties that govern it — competence, candor to the tribunal, confidentiality of client data processed by AI systems, and supervision of AI-generated work product. Drawing on cautionary lessons from sanctions cases involving fabricated AI citations, our expert panelists will offer practical guidance on using AI responsibly and with the sound judgment these obligations demand.
